Well...this is not a real elephant but a life-size model!
I shot this in front of Penta Menaka, a popular shopping complex at Marine drive in Kochi. It looked real... amazing! An air pump was attached to it by which the trunk was moving.
'Nettippattom', an ornamental gold plated sacred caparison is worn over elephant's forehead during temple festivals in Kerala. Nowadays miniature versions of this beautiful caparison, you will see in cars and houses also. Being sacred it is thought to bring prosperity.
